Heroscape: Battle for the Wellspring Battle Box
Ages 14+ | 2+ Players
Fantasy battles don’t get much grander than Heroscape. The Battle for the Wellspring Battle Box reintroduces this beloved customizable miniatures game to a new generation.
Players draft their armies from a lineup of heroes, monsters, and warriors from across time and space — then wage epic tactical battles across 3D modular terrain. The box includes everything you need to get started: preassembled figures, terrain tiles, and dice.
It’s the perfect choice for anyone who loves strategy, collectible minis, and storytelling through combat. And yes, it’s just as fun to paint as it is to play!
Allies: Starling 54 – A Sci-Fi Storytelling Adventure
Ages 16+ | 2–6 Players
Looking for a story-driven experience? Allies: Starling 54 puts you and your friends in the middle of a cinematic sci-fi drama full of tension, betrayal, and choices that shape your fate.
Players work together (or sometimes against each other) as members of a stranded crew fighting to survive on a mysterious world. Each session feels like a new episode of your favorite space series. It’s immersive, replayable, and perfect for players who love narrative-rich games like Alien RPG or Dead of Winter.
Roleplaying Game: Welcome to Night Vale RPG
Ages 14+ | 2–6 Players
Step into the weird and wonderful desert town of Night Vale, where every conspiracy is true, and the radio station broadcasts strange truths best left unspoken.
Based on the award-winning podcast, this tabletop RPG combines eerie storytelling with absurd humor, inviting players to explore a town where glowing clouds might be friendly (or might be government drones). The rules are beginner-friendly, making it ideal for both new roleplayers and veteran storytellers looking for something truly unique.
If you’re looking for a gift that’s equal parts spooky, funny, and deeply creative — this is it.
